The cost of ruling an area where unrest may occur at any time is quite high.

In particular, these "beast masters" who caused the unrest are not weak. It will still be difficult for ordinary armies to suppress them, and they will suffer considerable casualties.

And there is no way she would stay in Syracuse forever just to suppress a group of beast masters.

Faced with such land with low value but high cost of governance.

Hildegard had almost the same conclusion as the Witch King.

Syracuse's independence may be the best, most convenient and cost-effective option.

Anyway, the Syracusans did not have such a strong sense of belonging to Leithania, so leaving them to fend for themselves and continue to perish in backwardness had nothing to do with them.

And Hildegard's momentary hesitation was also keenly noticed by Zaro.

Feeling that he had the upper hand again, Zaro was no longer afraid of Hildegard in front of him, and he shouted while taking advantage of the victory:

"Humans, you built cities, locked yourselves in them, and thought you were the masters of this land."

"But you've only learned to fiddle with some tools. Don't take yourself too seriously."

"You have never conquered the wilderness, let alone the Wolf Lord of the wilderness."

"Syracuse is our land, our hunting ground!"

"—I've heard enough."

However, just when Zaro started clamoring again, trying to make Hildegard give up.

Chen Qi, who had been silent for a long time, finally lost his patience to continue to tangle with Zaro.

He took the initiative to move closer to Zaro.

"Zaro, I thought that as a beast master with thousands of years of life, you should be a little smarter."

"But I didn't expect that your stupidity was really beyond my imagination."

"Human, what did you say?!"

Chen Qi's undisguised contempt was a devastating humiliation to the self-esteem of a proud beast master like Zaro.

However, no matter how Zaro showed his fangs, Chen Qi still didn't seem to be scared by it at all.

He just stood proudly in front of Zaro, staring at its huge body, and said calmly:

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you anymore. You don't deserve to hear it."

"——Secret Police, imprison it."

"!"

As soon as Chen Qi finished speaking, Zaro's beast instinct made it keenly aware of the danger and it turned into a ball of black smoke.

But this time, Zaro miscalculated.

Just when Zaro turned into black smoke and tried to escape, an invisible "barrier" dropped from the sky and trapped his body in a semicircular space.

The moment Zaro's body turned into black mist and crashed into the "barrier", the spell repulsion that erupted made it almost instinctively let out a painful howl.

"what?!"

Zaro returned to his original form and looked at the "barrier" that trapped his body, with an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

It instinctively resisted this fact and howled as it crashed into the "barrier" again.

But the next second, the strong repulsive force pushed it back to its original position.

The intense stinging sensation brought by the spell made it suffer unbearably, and it could only wail within the "barrier".

It was not until this time that Zaro and others began to notice it.

On the broken roof of the gray hall, a circle of well-equipped secret police had formed.

It was the magic they released that imprisoned the arrogant beast lord Zaro.

"how can that be?!"

"How could a mere human possess such power!"

"…This is the difference between humans and beasts like you, Zaro."

Looking at Zaro who was in great pain inside the "barrier", Chen Qi, who had already anticipated the outcome of all this, just calmly interpreted the facts.

"Perhaps thousands of years ago, humans were a symbol of weakness in your mind."

"But on this day, we have already advanced and become strong enough to drive you beasts out of our home."

"Look carefully, Zaro."

"Each of these secret police is the elite of our Leitania. Each of them has strength that is not inferior to the champion knight of Casimir."

"They know how to cooperate and understand tactics. Even if any one of them is taken out alone, they can defeat a beast master like you."

"We will have more elites like this in the future."

Chen Qi told the truth that was hard for Zaro and even the other family heads to accept.

It turns out that while they were engaged in endless internal strife, the combat effectiveness of other countries had become so terrifying?

The legendary "Lord of Wolves" who made them extremely afraid was, in the eyes of this emperor, as harmless as a puppy?

"Not only that, in the future, we will have more mechanized weapons and troops."

"Imagine that, Zaro... the weak humans in your eyes will be covered with iron-like defenses."

"We will no longer use crossbows and spears to fight you, but will use artillery, bombs, and Originium skills to crush you to ashes time and time again."

"Until you leave this territory that belongs to us."

"Besides, even if you hide temporarily or defeat an army by chance, it won't cause any harm."

"Because we have a huge empire that provides us with a constant supply of blood."

"We are a united community that can work together to perpetuate hatred forever."

"We will be driven by this hatred and keep moving forward until we find a way to destroy you forever."

Every word Chen Qi said filled the hearts of all the family heads present with fear.

It was as if Chen Qi’s threat was not only directed at Zaro, but was also a warning to them.

And under Chen Qi's threats, Zaro gradually lost his previous arrogance.

Even its huge body began to tremble slightly because of fear.

Eternal hatred, endless revenge...

Such a strong threat would be an endless torture that even an immortal beast master would never want to experience.

Zaro had to admit that it was timid.

Its only thought now is no longer how to continue its "game" in Syracuse.

It just wants to escape quickly, find a new pure land and start its life again.

It is not worth it for any beast master to be tainted with endless hatred just for a "playing field".

"Now, do you understand?"

Chen Qi slowly stood up and glanced at every corner of his surroundings.

Although in these dark places, there seems to be nothing.

But Chen Qi could still feel that many pairs of "eyes" were watching everything here, and there were many beast masters wandering around them.

He chose to announce his decree as a king to everyone present in the loudest voice!

"Syracuse is now my territory, the land of Leitania!"

"Everything that does not belong to this city and does not obey my rule."

"I, the Emperor of Leitania, grant you one last chance."

"--roll!!"

Chen Qi's deafening voice fell with a bang.

A moment later, clouds of dark smoke appeared from every corner of the gray hall.

And under the stunned gaze of all the family heads, the black smoke fled towards the sky and the distance in a hurry.

Not until the last cloud of black fog escaped under the gaze of everyone did all the Syracuse people present feel a wonderful sense of relief from the bottom of their hearts.

This feeling of being under constant surveillance and having one's life threatened at any time finally disappeared completely.

They thought that this was a skill that they had to learn because of the civilization of Syracuse.

And now they finally understood...it turned out that from the very beginning, the "Beast Master" had been secretly observing and manipulating them.

But now, this feeling has finally disappeared.

Syracusans, free at last!

And now, only the last beast master is left and has not left yet.

"—I am willing to leave Syracuse."

After seeing his fellow tribesmen fleeing one after another, Zaro's expression finally showed a hint of panic.

Looking at the aggressively approaching Chen Qi, Zaro finally felt fear in his heart. Not wanting to experience the pain of death, he had to choose to give in.

But unfortunately, it has already lost its last chance.

"I've said that before, Mr. Zarrow."

Chen Qi stood up, looking down at Zaro who was trying to lower his head and put on an attitude of submission, his voice still without a trace of emotion.

"According to the laws of Leitania, those who disobey the order are disrespected."

"Kill, nothing, pardon."

"I hope that after you are resurrected, you can engrave this pain into your bones and remind you at all times to never approach the land of Syracuse again."

Chen Qi's words, which sounded like a judgment, ruthlessly extinguished the last glimmer of hope in Zaro's heart.

The next second, it only heard a snap of fingers.

The "barrier" around it, which was filled with strong magical fluctuations, began to shrink...

“Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar, roar——!!!”

The painful wolf howl, which was enough to shake the ground, spread throughout Volsiny, allowing all the residents of this moving city to hear the earth-shattering and soul-stirring wail of the "Wolf Lord".

And this painful wolf howl lasted for several minutes.

Finally, Zaro's body was completely transformed into a ball of black mist in the ever-shrinking "barrier" in an extremely painful way and disappeared.

From then on, Syracuse no longer had the aura of the "Beast Master".

"——All forces that attempted to oppose Syracuse's return have been completely wiped out."

"From this day on, Syracuse officially returns to the rule of Leithania and is renamed the Syracuse Autonomous Region."

After Zaro's figure completely disappeared, Chen Qi slowly turned around again with the attitude of a king and issued his decree to the "former" heads of Syracuse.

"I appoint, Lady Sicily, as the highest representative of the Syracuse Autonomous Region."

"The rest of the former family heads were appointed as members of the regional council."

"I will give you fifteen days to disband your respective families and adjust and fill the cadre structure of the Syracuse region."

"We strive to get Syracuse to stop the conflict and resume operations as quickly as possible."

"You guys, do you understand?"

In the end, the few remaining family heads looked at each other and no longer hesitated.

The next second, they raised their right hands high towards the king in front of them in the most standard Leitanian ceremony.

"I will obey your majesty's order!"
